I'm sorry if there was any mention of this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it.
But what happened this afternoon was kinda troubling. I've just bought my HTC Hero, two days ago. I've synced it with outlook with 700 something contacts. And all was fine. There was some trouble with syncing, but all contacts were transferred to phone memory.
When out of a blue, this afternoon, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all contacts simply vanished. Calendar was still intact, txts as well, all fine but the contacts.
When I came home, I tried to sync it again but it just synced two calendar notes. It synced as if all contacts were on the phone, but they were not. So I've managed to restore them by over-riding phone with PC.
Can anyone explain this? How do I know this won't happen again?
I'm using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 as well as the latest edition of HTC Sync.
(maybe relevant, maybe not, I've managed to hopefully resolve the before mentioned troublesome connection when syncing by manually installing drivers for Windows 7)
Thank you. I hope I was clear.
Probaby an obvious one but if you go into Contacts=>Menu=>View have you accidentally unchecked the set contacts you want to show ?
I'm having the same problem, but running Windows XP w/ Outlook 2007 instead.
First time was using stock ROM. One day all my contacts disappeared (phone and google contacts). The phone contacts I retrieved by forcing HTC Sync to overwrite my phone's data with my PC's. The google contacts I retrieved by doing a factory reset and setting up my google account again.
Then I installed MCR 2.6, and again my contacts disappeared, but this time only the phone contacts (the google contacts remained).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The same problem, twice.
Both time I had this problem when I sent a message.
I think this should be a problem of the ROM-version, and I hope the next ROM will fix it.
I've been trying to figure this out forever.
Every once in a while my phone contacts will vanish, but the Google contacts always remain.
I've tried turning off synchronization for Google contacts and it seems that my phone contacts have stopped vanishing for now. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Simply migrate you contacts to google. Its very easy. Quite why anyone struggles with Outlook on Android is a mystery. I was Outlook mad pre the Hero, now everything is migrated to googlemail/google calendar/google contacts.
No USB connecting nonsense for updates, all over the air, 2 way sync. Much better than outlook ever was.
I was wondering of someone knows how to do this. I looked everywhere for the answer. I just today deleted all my contacts from gmail because it kept like 4 of each person on there. I want to sync again, i tried this morning to do it but it just wont. How do i manually sync with gmail so get the contacts back on there? Thanks
Like a lot of you, I was having an issue with my Facebook contacts synching to my phone. When I was on 2.1 there were intermittent problems but after I started trying 2.2 roms none of them would sync. I would always export my contacts to the sd card before wiping and flashing a new rom. One of the first things I did when customizing the new rom would be to import those contacts. I figured out if you set up a Facebook account and set it to sync, allow it to sync and then import your contacts that Facebook contacts will sync every time. I spent yesterday trying this on Nero, Axura, Pepperkake, Gingerclone & Macnut. It worked on each one. If I imported my contacts first, then Facebook, I got the sync error.
Anyway, I hope this works for you. If it does, please click Thanks

Hi there,
I recently flashed my HD2 with WP7, but am trying to update to the latest WP7 release.
I was wondering if there was a program out there that could backup messages and contacts that I've accumulated over the last week or so.
Your help is much appreciated, thank you!
there is till now no software to take backup of contacts or sms . But you CAN take the backup of contacts is by syncing it with your email id . Let suppose you use hotmail just sync the contacts with it . Its the best backup and after that you can retrieve them on the new windows by just syncing hotmail again . Remmber for hotmail sync you need to have an activation code but for gmail or yahoo you dont need them .
Yeah I gathered the contacts thing recover whereas the sms's don't...oh well, nevermind I guess! Thanks!

What you are saying is confusing to understand. Maybe you should try and do a better effort in explaining your problem ?
Sorry for that. He had some contacts on his phone and he wanted to format his phone. Phone contacts have an option "move device contacts to google" so we did that, supposed that they moved into his gmail account. After formatting phone contacts dissapeared not just from phone but also from his google gmail account on computer !! Can we recover them ?
Ok now I understand. I had the same issue on my fathers phone and I couldn't recover them. I think its a bug. After reflashing the phone we had to type each contact into phone on his Gmail account.
So unless they where stored on Gmail account to start with you are screwed as that stupid copy from phone memory to Gmail account bug hasn't been sorted out yet.
Bad news, ok mate thanks. If anyone else have some solution on this please help, all his work was on that phone contacts.
